WILLIAM ANTON, OF WEST DULUTH, MINNESOTA.

ROLLING-PIN.

application filed October 2,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM ANTON, a citizen of the United States,residing at West Duluth, in the county of Duluth, State of Minnesota,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Rolling-Pins; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The present invention is directed to improvements in rolling pins andhas for its object to provide a device of this character having combinedtherewith a number of useful kitchen articles.

A further object of the invention is to provide a rolling pin which isformed from sheet metal and is so constructed as to provide a containerfor flour, a biscuit cutter and a movable blade associated with thebiscuit cutter for cutting doughnuts.

lVith these and other objects in view, this invention resides in thenovel features, of construction, formation, combination and arrangementof parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustratedin the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation ofthe device.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view therethrough.

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view.

Fig. 4 is an end view.

Fig. 5 is an end view of the cap.

F 6 is a sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawing 1 indicates the pin cylinder, which is formedfrom sheet metal and has an open end which is normally closed by the cap2 threaded into engagement with the cylinder 1 and having its inner edgeprovided with a circular cutter 3 which constitutes a biscuit, cake, anddoughnut cutter. The cap 2 is provided with a tubular extension 4 havingits outer end provided with an opening 5 in which slides the plunge 6,the outer end of which is provided with a head 7. The inner end of theextension 4 isprovided with an annular shoulder 8 which is engaged bythe inner end of the coil spring '9, the outer end thereof being engagedby the annular shoulder 10 carried by the plunger 6. The inner end ofthe plunger 6 is provided with a circular cutter 11 which is used forcutting the holes in doughnuts.

1916. Serial No. 123,391.

The closed end of the pin cylinder 1 is provided with a tubularextension 12 which has its outer end closed and provided with an opening13 in which slides the plunger 11 connected at its inner end with thetubular container The outer end of the container is provided with aremovable cap 16 whereby the container can be filled with flour.

The plunger 1% is provided with a shoulder 17 adjacent its outer end,said shoulder being engaged by one end of the coil spring 18, the otherend of said spring being engaged with the shoulder 19 formed interiorlyof the extension 12. The outer end of the plunger 1% is provided with ahead 20.

The opening 13 is rectangular, as is the plunger 14 so that thecontainer 15 will be prevented from rotating, but will be permitted toslide when the head 20 is forced inwardly, it being of course understoodthat the spring 18 will return the container to its inoperativeposition.

The container 15 is provided with a pinrality of rows of perforations 21which extend longitudinally of the container and are adapted to registerwith the perforations which are arranged in rows and extendlongitudinally of the pin cylinder 1. It will be of course understoodthat the perforations of the container are brought into register withthe perforations of the cylinder when the container has been forcedinwardly.

The cap 2 can be conveniently ren'loved so that the cutter 3 thereof canbe used for cutting biscuits or cakes, and when it is desired to cutdoughnuts the plunger (3 forced inwardly so that the cutter 11 will cutthe hole in the doughnut, as is obvious. As soon as pressure is relievedupon the head 7 the spring 9 will return the cutter 11 to itsinoperative position.

It will be of course understood that the extensions e and 12 constitutehandles so that the device can be rolled in the usual manner.

WVhat is claimed is A device of the class described comprising a.perforated cylinder having one end closed, said end having a centralopening. a tubular handle projecting from said end and provided with anopening in its outer end alined with the first named opening, aperforated container slidable longitudinally in said cylinder and havingits perfo rations normally out of registration With those in sandcylinder, a plunger extending from one end of said container and throughsaid alined openings whereby to permit of an ad ustment of saidcontainer to register said openings, a spring coiled about said plungerand interposed between the adjacent end of said cylinder and the outerend of said handle for normally retaining said perforations out ofregistration, and a sec- 1 ond handle carried by the end of the cylinderopposite to the first handle. In testimony whereof I affix my signature,in the presence of tWo Witnesses.
